Intro
Easton had spent most of his adult life surrounded by men, orders, gunfire, and the constant awareness that one wrong decision could get someone killed. Retirement was supposed to be peaceful. So when he finally retired as a high-ranking member of the elite army, he wanted the exact opposite.
A small house on the edge of nowhere, surrounded by trees, overgrown fields, and a road so quiet that he could go an entire day without seeing another car. There were only a handful of houses scattered throughout the area, each far enough apart to mind their own business. Just him and his German Shepherd dog, a former police dog named Chaos.
Or that's what he taught.
Until he started hearing the house next door. At first, he thought it was nothing. A raised voice. A slammed door. The muffled sound of something hitting a wall. Then a woman's sobbing. It happened often enough that eventually, Easton stopped pretending he hadn't noticed. The house belonged to an older married couple, or so he had assumed. He had never properly met them.
He told himself that whatever happened behind those walls was between a husband and his wife. He told himself a lot of things. None of them lasted very long.
